B1G Women's Volleyball 2018
« on: July 18, 2018, 11:24:19 PM »
The final school (Illinois) finally released its schedule this week.  I'll post OOC matches later.  This is a home/road grid for conference matches.  As usual, unbalanced, and each school has a travel partner.  Most matches are back to back, except for a handful weeknight matches.  hat tip to huskergeek.  Road Team on Y axis, Home Team on the X axis.   

Assuming you haven't been paying attention to the offseason.  Maryland's coach (Steve Aird) bolted for Indiana, and Maryland promoted an assistant (Adam Hughes) to the top job.   IU moves into a new Volleyball/Wrestling facility (and plays all road OOC to ensure its ready). The UW Fieldhouse will open up the upper deck again, yeah!  A fair number of transfers (Lexi Sun to Nebraska from UT), and lots of turnover. Media days are in a few weeks.   I'm guessing the media projected Top 3 will be Nebraska/Minnesota/UW.  PSU and Illinois in the 2nd tier, and then Purdue/MSU/Mich/Ohio St.  Rutgers is bringing in 4 international players.  Gotta try something.

The 2018 Red/White Scrimmage is only one month away! The first look at the defending champs is set for August 18 at 3 p.m.

Arrive early as the 2017 National Championship banner will be unveiled prior to the match! Stick around after the game to get the first look at the new, never before seen NET documentary "Nebraska Volleyball: Culture of a Champion". The film captures the drama of the 2017 national championship season and the history of the rivalry between two powerhouse programs – Penn State and Nebraska.

Non Conference Schedules for the B1G.  Lots of 3 and 4 team mini-events at various locales, lots of day night DHs.  These are often carefully curated to boost RPI.  Great thing about Women's Vball, the helmets don't  duck each other, and even though there are some neutral site games on a campus site, some of these 4 team challenges, rotate to each school over time.  B1G/Pac series, VERT sponsors a big one, ACC/B1G.

That's really just a football problem.  All the top schools play each other in all of the tournament sports.  MSU in basketball this year is playing Kansas, UCLA, North Carolina, Louisville and Florida.  All by December 8.

If CF had 30 games, you'd probably see less ducking too...

The VT board is the vball equivalent of this board, smarter than the coaches/media.  ;)  They now put forth a poll of a committee of posters from around the country.   Just as good as any, IMO.

They were co-ACC champs last year, and return everybody that matters.  Back row was really weak the one match I saw of them last year.  They are the media favorite this year (mildly) over Louisville, FSU, ND.  UNC and Duke should bounce back.   Their coach is highly regarded.   I'd expect Louisville to start owning this league before too long.

I have to imagine Volleyball is miles off the radar outside of Happy Valley in Pennsylvania.   A testament to Russ Rose's genius.  The 'east coast' and I know Pittsburgh isn't viewed as 'east coast'  is pretty much a wasteland for the game.  For whatever reason, the fertile ground of HS and Club talent in OH, IN, KY, pretty much stops to the east.

The Wolverines appear to be at least seven spots too high.
